Poem Remix

     Our group chose this song http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVHOqrw3Jks A better place sang by Playing for life for our poem Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. We believe this sing was perfect for the poem because they both dream of being in a better and happier place. The video is sang by musicians around the world to inspire and say that through music people can come together to make this world a better place. In the poem it talks about leaving the place where the smoke blows black to the place where the sidewalk ends where the grass grows soft and white and the sun burns crimson bright. They both a want a change for good.
My group is : Esme Fernandez, Antonio Pereyra, Ronaldo Rendon, Erica L. Ceballos and myself Jonatan Pacheco

My feelings on finals

     Finals, a way for teachers to see what you have learned through out the first and then second semester. It has students stressing over classes, grades, etc. Students should not be stressed at this early stage. We are all 14-18 years of age and stressing like a 40 year old. Finals just should not be a thing.

Questions about my poem

     This poem title gives me the idea that it is not only the ideas you get on the spot but the ideas you get when you think harder and get when you aren't thinking about it. The tone in this poem is very bland and mind twisting. The mood for me is depressing.

My poem "Out Beyond Ideas" by Mewlana Jalaludin Rumi

Out Beyond Ideas
By Mewlana Jalaludin Rumi

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.

My thoughs on Problems by Langston Hughes

     I chose this poems because it makes you think about a simple problem to a much more extent. Also it's a poem that made me think, so that's the reason I liked it. Hopefully Dr.Preston could help me with a deeper meaning to this poem.

Problems by Langston Hughes

2 and 2 are 4.

4 and 4 are 8.


But what would happen
If the last 4 was late?

And how would it be
If one 2 was me?

Or if the first 4 was you
Divided by 2?

     

Righetti High School at its lowest

     Today was one of the lowest day we have ever had at Righetti since I've been there. I am disappointed in what happened. Cops were assaulted by student for the reason that they "Had there friend's back." in a fight. Was it worth being punched in the face.
     Now there is 6 students in custody. One student was found with a knife in his backpack. For what purpose did this students do this who knows but it's there opinion they wanted to do it now it's there consequences.
     Now our school is all over the Santa Barbara County news, Saint Louis Obispo County, and Los Angeles area news. Our school is now a mockery in the eyes of places around our area and for what cause none what so ever.
